Just as Shen Mu used Sun God Power to detonate Khonsu's divine body, deep beneath a small shop in Cairo.
The recently unleashed Sun God Power activated an unfinished ritual of Apocalypse from three thousand years ago.
Underground, a small pyramid made of pure gold absorbed the Sun God Power that had just dissipated.
Golden patterns appeared and spread deeper into the ground.
And deep underground, on a half-meter-high altar, lay a strange figure in armor with blue-purple skin.
He was the ancestral figure of Mutants, Apocalypse, the Human God who ruled the Nile basin 3600 years ago.
As one of the first Mutants, Apocalypse relied on his ability to transfer his consciousness to other Mutants, thereby acquiring their abilities and talents.
Over the long years, he repeatedly replaced young bodies, gaining thousands of abilities.
However, although his soul was immortal, he could not guarantee the immortality of his physical body.
Therefore, what he always desired most was to possess a physical body that could match his immortal soul.
Fortunately, through the efforts of his Talons, he finally discovered a Mutant with powerful regenerative abilities.
And he was designated as Apocalypse's next vessel for reincarnation.
However, what he never expected was that the ordinary people he had enslaved and looked down upon from beginning to end betrayed him precisely when he was completing his most important reincarnation ritual.
The rebels' conspiracy destroyed the pyramid and interrupted his reincarnation ritual, even trapping him in this dark underground for over 3000 years.
Originally, he was supposed to reawaken due to an accident ten years later.
But this time, under the catalysis of Shen Mu's Sun God Power, his reincarnation ritual was reactivated.
At this moment, Apocalypse, lying on the altar, suddenly opened his eyes.
His soul rapidly and fully revived, beginning to take control of this new body.
The next moment, looking at the massive stones above his head, a powerful purple energy emerged around Apocalypse.
The giant stones above him began to tremble, and the ground above felt the vibration.
"Was that an earthquake?"
The shop owner on the ground said with some confusion.
No sooner had he spoken than a purple light shot into the sky, and terrifying vibrations spread from Cairo across the entire Earth.
At this time, everyone in Cairo had just recovered from the drastic change in the sky!
Due to their senses being partially obscured by the gods, the only thing they could perceive was that the sky suddenly darkened, then brightened again!
"Has the judgment of the gods disappeared?"
Just as someone was thinking this, strong vibrations occurred.
Everyone quickly scattered and fled towards open areas.
Kamar-Taj!
The incense Ancient One was arranging toppled onto the table with the jolt.
"This guy, he just finished provoking one, and now he's about to provoke another!"
"An ancient Mutant who was supposed to awaken ten years from now has appeared ten years early; this World is truly becoming too chaotic!"
Ancient One carefully rearranged the overturned incense burner, sighing with a touch of emotion.
Meanwhile, at Xavier Institute, Professor X and his team, who were repairing the Institute, were nearly hit by falling materials due to the tremor.
"What's happening? Why do I have such an ominous premonition?"
Professor X felt a surge of panic in his heart, sensing that something bad was about to happen!
Magneto, who had left Xavier Institute, was now on his way to retrieve what belonged to him, the helmet that could block psionic abilities.
After he was captured, that helmet, along with the equipment and even parts of the bodies of his fellow Mutants, were sealed as spoils of war in The Pentagon's underground.
Just as he was about to grasp the helmet, he also felt that power.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the helmet's previous Master, the man he had personally killed.
Subsequently, he put the helmet on his head with a resolute expression.
Now, he would no longer fear Charles's mind control!
Having remedied his weakness, he would seek revenge, for his fallen Mutant brethren and for himself.
In a two-story house in New York, a little girl with burgundy hair was quietly eating breakfast with her parents.
Suddenly, an invisible force swept past, and the hand holding her spoon abruptly froze.
Then her parents witnessed a terrifying scene: the spoon held by the girl began to slowly decompose into invisible particles.
However, immediately after this, their daughter fell into a deep sleep.
"John, Jean, she..."
"Don't worry, Jean will be fine."
The husband comforted his somewhat terrified wife.
At Stark Industries, the middle-aged Howard Stark was enjoying rare father-son time with his two-year-old son, Tony Stark.
A tremor came, and he frantically held his son tightly in his arms.
"Jarvis, help me find out the source of this earthquake."
After the tremor stopped, Howard instructed his butler.
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis, impeccably dressed and exuding a gentlemanly aura, responded.
Logan, who had resumed his life of fine wine and beautiful women, was also awakened by the tremor, but he merely rolled over and continued to sleep soundly, embracing the woman beside him!
Shen Mu, flying in the sky, also sensed the power from beneath Cairo.
At this moment, the second phase of the "Days of Future Past" event quietly began, and its progress rapidly advanced significantly.
"Apocalypse, you really made me search for you!"
With that, Shen Mu instantly accelerated, and a series of sonic booms echoed in the air.
The next moment, Shen Mu's figure descended with a roar from the sky.
He directly broke through the ground and headed downwards.
The shop owner was scared stiff, scrambling out of his house.
Underground, Apocalypse, who had just stood up, suddenly looked up; he felt something terrifying approaching him.
Considering his recent awakening, Apocalypse decided he needed to understand the current World's information first.
Therefore, without any hesitation, he directly opened a portal.
Shen Mu was a mere zero-point-one second too late, watching helplessly as Apocalypse's figure disappeared into the purple portal.
However, just before the portal was about to vanish, Shen Mu forcefully gripped it with one Talons.
Then, he used his other Talons to try and forcibly tear open the already closed portal.
Unfortunately, this was a portal opened by Apocalypse's own ability, so when Apocalypse saw a black Talons dart out behind him, he immediately dispersed the power maintaining the portal.
Instantly, the portal completely disappeared.
"Heh! He ran pretty fast, didn't he? But you can't hide."
Shen Mu might not be able to find Apocalypse, who wanted to temporarily lie low, but given Apocalypse's nature, he would absolutely not be able to stay put.
Seeing the mortals he once ruled now become the Masters of the World, this ancient Mutant, who considered himself a god, would certainly not be able to sit still, just as Shen Mu knew from history.
At that time, he wouldn't fear not catching him.
